remember those pitcher forms?

and remember I said I have a thing for cobalt?  

a few new bits...

So, I confess I love cobalt.  I also confess it's a bit intimidating to me.  Mostly because in my experience,  I've had such mixed results.  Hazing, jumping, it turning up in surprising and unexpected places ;-))  It is awesome though.  I love it.  So, on I go.  I'm working out how to bend it to my will.   Hah.  Well, I hope, at some point....

modern nostalgia - is it possible?
 

works/forms in process

some new forms.  large slab built servers, small salt sellers.  I've also so a little plan for these driftwood pieces...

some newness

I've been doing some new work.  I'm using a simple modern form and exploring more drawing and illustration, the drawing is my focus.  Though I spend time considering the functionality and design of the form, and I'm attracted to every kind of form, I seem to stick to a very simple utilitarian shape.  I go back and fourth about it in my mind, but still the same thing keeps popping out.

I think a pitcher form may be as complicated as a tea pot to make?


oh, my apologies my tiny readership; I've been neglecting the blog for months now; I'm on FB, Etsy, Pinterest.  I'm definitely spending (wasting) too much time lollygaging on the computer...I haven't even updated my own website.  I used to write the blog at work, where I often had time on my hands.  The odd thing about not working is how different time is.  I have had success and failure at managing my time, but that's another post; working on that one.


I'd like to get back in the saddle on the blog and puff it up with some new life....
